The non-profit cuts 54 roles as part of a reorganization to streamline operations and focus on core priorities.
The Ethereum Foundation reduced its workforce by 20%, eliminating 54 positions as part of a broader restructuring effort. The move aims to create a leaner organization following the March release of its 38-page “Mandate” and a new treasury policy.
The reorganization splits operations into five core clusters, including protocol, access, and user layers. Recent leadership departures, including co-director Hsiao-Wei Wang, preceded the layoffs. The Foundation stated the changes position it for critical upcoming tasks.
No immediate market reaction was reported following the announcement, which was shared via the Foundation’s official channels on June 23, 2026.
